Development Roadmap

Q1 2009

This is an initial release of the 1.x line, to be shortly deprecated into maintenance mode; we will still be tracking and addressing major / security-related bugs, and you are encouraged to browse our Bugzilla database fully.

Q3 2009

As of Q3 2009, development on L8X as a stand-alone application has been halted in favor of a refactoring of the L8X functionality into the PKP Web Application Library. The rationale for this approach is to provide direct integration with OJS and OCS, as well as functionality for the initial relase of OMP. Users can expect a major change to bring the UI in line with the rest of the PKP suite, while keeping much of the dynamic interface in 1.x.

Future Development

If a metadata element in Harvester looks like a citation, parse the citation and render it in HTML with COinS

use Harvester to retrieve additional citation meta-data that will be attached to the meta-data we already retrieve (i.e. every single harvester record may contain or point to additional citation records)

Copyediting: Author match between the name used in body of the text and name used in the citations, as per spelling and reference link between text and bibliography (author with no reference; reference with no link to body of the text);

Copyediting: Quotation checking, where a quote in the body of the text is checked against the web for accuracy, with candidates proposed for comparison and correction, as well as reference checking;

Plagiarism: Random check of not-quoted bits of text for matches and possible plagiarism.
